Ingredients

  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp erythritol, granulated
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • free chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Begin by gently washing the raspberries and blueberries, then setting them aside. In a large bowl, combine heavy cream, cream cheese, granulated erythritol, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and fluffy, creating a light mousse like texture. Set aside to rest. Next, prepare the almond flour and cocoa powder mixture by whisking them together in a small bowl. Gradually pour this mixture into the creamy base, folding it gently with a spatula to create a marbled effect. Fold in the sugar free chocolate chips for an added touch of indulgence. Finally, layer the berries and cream mixtures in two elegant dessert glasses, finishing with a generous berry layer on top.

Chef’s Insight

The key to this dessert's success lies in the delicate balance between the creamy, rich layers and the vibrant freshness of the berries. Allow each ingredient its moment to shine, and remember that patience is key when folding the mixtures together for a perfect marbled effect.
